To funnel his demands, Gottlieb used the same Twitter lobbyist the White House did - fresh evidence of overlap between the company selling mRNA shots and the government forcing them on the public.
On August 27, 2021, Dr. Scott Gottlieb - a Pfizer director with over 550,000 Twitter followers - saw a tweet he didn’t like, a tweet that might hurt sales of Pfizer’s mRNA vaccines.
The tweet explained correctly that natural immunity after Covid infection was superior to vaccine protection. It called on the White House to “follow the science” and exempt people with natural immunity from upcoming vaccine mandates.
It came not from an “anti-vaxxer” like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., but from Dr. Brett Giroir, a physician who had briefly followed Gottlieb as the head of the Food & Drug Administration. Further, the tweet actually encouraged people who did not have natural immunity to “Get vaccinated!”
No matter.
By suggesting some people might not need Covid vaccinations, the tweet could raise questions about the shots. Besides being former FDA commissioner, a CNBC contributor, and a prominent voice on Covid public policy, Gottlieb was a senior board member at Pfizer, which depended on mRNA jabs for almost half its $81 billion in sales in 2021. Pfizer paid Gottlieb $365,000 for his work that year.
Gottlieb stepped in, emailing Todd O’Boyle, a top lobbyist in Twitter’s Washington office who was also Twitter’s point of contact with the White House.
The post was “corrosive,” Gottlieb wrote. He worried it would “end up going viral and driving news coverage.”

Pfizer board member Dr. Scott Gottlieb pushed ‘Twitter to suppress people he didn’t like’: Alex Berenson
‘Pandemia’ author Alex Berenson details his report in the ‘Twitter Files’ that Pfizer worked with the federal government to censor individuals who questioned COVID vaccines on ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight.’
Those who rushed in out of fear and selfish stupidity and rolled up their sleeve for the experimental wonder drug can never be trusted.
They will join with the censors rather than admit they were fooled so badly for so long. They don’t care how many people going forward are harmed by making the same mistake they did.
To them, it’s all about them. They enabled all of this.
He also worked on implementation of the Medicare drug benefit as a senior advisor to the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, where he supported policy work on quality improvement and the agency’s coverage process, particularly as it related to new medical technologies.
In 2013 Dr. Gottlieb was appointed by the Senate to serve on the Federal Health Information Technology Policy Committee, which advises the Department of Health and Human Services on healthcare information technology.
US Food & Drug Administration - Scott Gottlieb M.D.
It seems he is a loyal party member in good standing.
It’s Orwellian these people would go out of their way to censor a tweet. They’re possessed or something. That is just not normal.
Trump appointed him as the Director of the FDA, which is never mentioned by anyone anymore.
I took the shots with what I knew at the time. I didn't rush out to get them. My elderly parents took the shots early on and didn't have a problem, so I got the jabs in late spring of 21. Other than a slight sore arm at the injection site, I had no issues with either shots. Shortly after getting the shots, I ran into an elderly family friend. Covid sent him to the ICU and the vaccine sent him back to the ICU. A month or 2 later, the Israelis said boosters are needed. At that point I decided I wasn't going to do that. I've never been boosted.
“Trump appointed him as the Director of the FDA, which is never mentioned by anyone anymore.”
*********************************************
It’s well known Trump made many poor appointments. He’s far from perfect but unfortunately he’s the best shot we’ve got for any hope for change. Personally I would much prefer a more principled and and intelligent libertarian like Rand Paul or Thomas Massie to be president, but the chances of electing either one of them to that position is slim to none.
DeSantis is obviously intelligent and great on many domestic and social issues, but the big donor money flowing to him tells me he’s just another deep state neocon. So Trump it is unless he totally screws up between now and the primary. Sometimes you just have to take what you can get.
To each their own, but as more and more of these ties between Trump and Big Pharma are exposed, I will have a tough time supporting him again, even if he wins the nomination.
I probably would be left with no other choice at that point, but the position of some you have mentioned like Paul and DeSantis against Big Pharma is where we should be focusing our attention.
The origin of covid, the lockdowns, and the vaccines are the biggest issues of the last 20 years, in my opinion, and will most likely be determining how I vote.
I’m curious if he is related to Sidney Gottlieb the CIA creep who did MK Ultra LSD tests on unwitting soldiers and civilians. Interestingly Sidney was in the c FDA in the 1950s where he developed tests to measure the presences of drugs in the human body. Then he moved into bio warfare.
Scott gottlieb doesn’t seem to be his son, but I wonder about an uncle or something. It’s very close and seems to be a family business.
Agreed. Killing off tweets was bad enough. What is extremely troublesome is the revelation that governments were pressuring social media companies to censor direct messaging apps.
“The origin of covid, the lockdowns, and the vaccines are the biggest issues of the last 20 years, in my opinion, and will most likely be determining how I vote.”

I agree with you about that and wish more people would open their eyes as to what is going on with this covid scam.

But in addition to that I am also vehemently against these never ending neocon wars that have bankrupted us and accomplished nothing of value, and DeSantis is onboard with them. Also Alberta’s Child turned me on to the fact that in the beginning DeSantis was totally into lockdowns and all the rest of this covid nonsense, and only changed his mind after Christy Noem came out against them and he saw how popular her position was with those on the right. So he strikes me more as being a clever political opportunist than a principled politician.
I am well aware of Trump’s shortcomings believe me, I really don’t care for the man on a personal level. But when weighing all the options, I’m still sticking with him at this point unless the situation changes. Rand Paul and Massie are a little too principled and honest to be elected president, because quite frankly the vast majority of voters are just clueless idiots.
Yes, I am very familiar with AC, as they are with me. I have long admired their ability to avoid taking things at face value, but rather see things for what they truly are, and have made my appreciation for their insight known many times. However on this specific issue, we have had some spirited debates of late.

You can check the following link for one of the more detailed ones, and make up your own mind on how you feel, but I don’t particularly think there’s much left to that discussion than has already been said by us both.
Thanks for that link, it does address my concern about DeSantis. When DeSantis initially came on the national scene I was impressed as hell with him and immediately thought he would be a far better candidate. But then looked into it further and changed my mind. That’s not to say though that I wouldn’t vote for him if he’s the chosen candidate, like I’ve said, sometimes you have to take what you can get from these politicians, even if you disagree with some of their positions.
I gave you the link to read my comments, clearly demonstrating that Trump was the one who initiated the lockdown guidelines for the entire US, that DeSantis was simply following.
But even then not to the degree Trump requested, which was to shut down all discretionary travel, including every restaurant, or anything with more than 10 people there. If you still want to blame DeSantis for that, go ahead, it’s your right, obviously.
Just don’t be surprised if we suffer the same exact thing with the lockdowns and injections once Trump gets back in there. He’s owned by the Big Pharma lobby, which DeSantis is challenging in the Florida Supreme Court right now.
I didn’t read the whole thread, but yeah I can forgive DeSantis if he was just following Trump’s move on this. The real problem I have with DeSantis is that he’s cozy with the neocons. I think the outrageous spending on these endless wars will lead to the economic collapse of the US. Of course we may already be beyond that point now, as these wars are intended in order for the US (and the West in general) to keep the Western economic ponzi scheme alive, so it may wind up collapsing no matter what we do at this point. I just think there are other ways to keep king dollar as the world’s preeminent currency without having to resort to WW3, which I believe is the direction we are currently heading towards.
